CALHOUN HOUR - CHOICE





It has been two and a half days since the end of the virus takeover. The power, lights, and heating has been turned back on. All the newer areas have been sealed, BP is once again required in certain rooms, and it appears that everything is returning back to normal.

Asides from Calhoun.

Whether characters have chosen to give pieces of Calhoun to Zero, to hold onto them, or to destroy them, it does not matter. There has been no indications as to when he would ever be back, so there has been a robotic mouse void within the warehouse. Zero has refused to leave any information as to the status of rebuilding Calhoun, but they have left this one message for everyone shortly after the power restoration:

"While you may be left alone to your devices, do not trick yourselves into thinking that there is a way out of here, or that you can do as you please. I will always be watching."

It has been two days since Zero has left these parting words before entirely disappearing. When attempting to call for them, everyone will only be responded with silence. It's clear that they're still watching over the facility though, as any kind of rule breaking or suspicious activities would automatically be rewarded with an injection of Soporil β. True to their word, Zero is somehow monitoring the behaviors without saying a single word.

It is not until the morning of Day 72 does everyone hear again from them again, through the speakers throughout the warehouse.

"Good morning, Subjects. Today, you will be partaking in another experiment of mine. It has come to my knowledge that my assistant has been throwing these so-called "Calhoun Hours" every three days to keep everyone stimulated between his rooms. Don't assume that I will do anything similar of the sort. This activity has far more care and thought put into it than this camping nonsense, so let us begin."

"The rules are simple: every test subject will be paired up and placed against each other. The collective will then have to vote for one of the pair. The one with the fewest amount of votes will be subjective to a punishment of my choice. The one with the most amount of votes will continue their dull experimental lives until the next set of events."

"Any petty attempts of rebellion will be met with serious repercussions, so I would suggest that you rethink any sort of plans."

"Now, best of luck, Subjects. We will talk again soon."

"Exactly. I can't walk. I don't think it can get much worse than that, honestly. I'd rather take another injury myself than have my partner end up as crippled as I am, or worse." Especially if his partner was Alfendi - the guy was in even more danger than Clive was right now.

"Back to that 'leave me behind' stuff, huh?" Heiji frowned, clearly unhappy with this. Alfendi was in worse shape than Clive, but that didn't mean he could automatically throw Clive under the bus. Even if... you know, Clive was asking him to do it.

"Okay. I can't make any promises, but I'll try to keep it in mind. ...Can't say I wouldn't ask people to do the same thing, to be honest with you." He hated this place, and this stupid fucking game.

"Hey... do you remember the name of that beer you bought? The one from your memory?"

It's okay, Heiji, Clive was extremely unhappy with absolutely everything that was going on right now too, even though he was barely showing it. Although the sudden mention of beer was enough to make Clive look at Heiji again with a puzzled expression. Of all the things to ask right now...

"Young's Double Chocolate Stout. Why?"
detectiveofthewest: (Heiji: let's do it)

"Aww, nothing. I was just thinkin' about what to buy you when we finally get outta here. A double chocolate stout, though... sounds a little too sweet for me." As if he was even old enough to drink.

And did Clive even still like that beer? Who knew, but he liked jello shots and shit so why not.
vengefulyears: (hold on i'm not done yet)

Clive realized that Heiji was trying to cheer him up, but in reality it actually had the opposite effect, whoops. He fell into another contemplative silence for a moment and turned his head away from Heiji.

"I suppose it is."
detectiveofthewest: (Heiji: excite)

Clive.... :C

Heiji looked at Clive for a moment, then leaned over and gave him a hug.

"Clive, I'm gonna go talk to the others. You take care of yourself, okay?"

He didn't move to return the hug or anything, but despite the melancholy look on his face, he seemed like he was grateful, at least.

"I will. I'm sorry... and thank you." He really did appreciate Heiji's efforts. He knew he was being difficult right now.
